Aneurysm
An aneurysm is a bulge in a vein or artery. As aneurysms get larger, they have an increased chance of rupturing. This can have severe consequences including a chance of death.

Does pulse rate affect size of aortic aneurysm?
I am not aware of any direct correlation. Having high blood pressure, however, can influence expansion rates and rupture odds.
What is an enlargement or dilation of blood vessel wall commonly referred to as ballooning?
An enlargement or dilation of blood vessel wall is called an aneurysm
What is the importance of isolating the internal carotid artery prior to aneurysm clipping?
to reduce the risk of hemorrhage in case of aneurysm rupture.
Can aneurysm be a result of taking a bath during fever?
First, ANSWER: No. If you take a bath with a fever, make sure the H2O is atleast room temp. No colder. Dangers of taking a cold bath with a high temp include systematic shock, seizure (due to rapid change in body temp), bradycardia (slow heart rate) from vagal response, and I */believe but am not 100% sure/* a possibility of going into V-Tach/V-Fib (lethal cardiac rhythm).
Second off, an Aneurysm is /NOT/ a blood clot. And Emboli/Embolus (Stationary) or Thrombi/Thrombus (Moving) are blood clots. An Aneurysm is a weakened section of an Arteries wall, which can cause a 'ballooning' out of that vessels wall. Commonly seen in the brain and on the Aorta (the main artery in the body).
Causes of an aneurysm can be chemical consumption (Alcohol/Drugs/Nicotine), poor diet, to birth defects and poor genes.
Just because you have an Aneurysm does not mean you are going to die. If the aneurysm RUPTURES, then there is a very good chance you will die.
Third: No, if you have a fever >101 oF, you do not have to immediately go to the ER. Go to an urgent care clinic or your regular family physician. If you have a fever >103/104 oF, then you should consider Emergency Medical care. Please note: You can take Anti-pyretics for fevers. Motrin (tm), Tylenol, etc. Then work wonders for fevers. Guess what, that's what the ER is more than likely going to do for you.
Danger for the fever comes in when you get above that 103/104 -OR- when your fever come on RAPIDLY (<30-60min). IE: Your temp is 98.7 and within an hour you shoot up to 102. If this occurs you will more than likely have a febrile seizure.

AnswerThere is no correlation between the two. Aneurysms are a blood clot that lets go on it's own accord and can hit the heart, lung or brain. For some reason Aneurysms have been increasing in teens in the last 10 years. This may be due to drug or alcohol abuse, but doctors are shocked at the rise. AnswerThere is no correlation between taking a bath during fever and having an aneurysm which is a blood clot that can decide to move on it's own and hit the lungs, heart or brain. When anyone has a high fever of more that 101 they should go to a clinic or ER ASAP.Can an aneurysm on your brain which you had surgery for cause clogged ear a year later?
Clogged ears are not a sign of aneurysm. They are a common problem often caused by upper respiratory infections or allergies. See your health care provider for accurate diagnosis.
Could a brain aneurysm lead to the development of Alzheimer's disease?
Tough to say; since doctors don't know what causes Alzheimer's disease, they don't know what helps cause it either. But I would say that it could possibly have a negative effect on the person's memory if they had an aneurysm.
It isn't easy to determine without knowing the gentleman's health history and comorbidities. However - an AAA that is from 5-5.9cm has a 6.5% chance of rupture every year. So, if his AAA does not grow - then there is a 65% chance of rupture by the age of 92. If the AAA increases to 6.5cm, the rate increases to 20% per year, giving him an estimated 100% rupture risk some time over the course of 5 years once the AAA has reached that size. The overall mortality rate for ruptured AAA is 80-90%. Factors that increase risk for rupture include smoking/history of smoking, COPD, hypertension, connective tissue disease, and family history of ruptured AAA.
If the aneurysm is infrarenal and far enough away from the renal arteries, this AAA could likely be repaired through minimally invasive techniques. Endovascular repair (EVAR) does not require general anesthesia or large incisions. The operation is conducted through the vessels in the legs. If considering repair, the surgeon will discuss risks/benefits and the surgeon's assessment of the patient's life expectancy will factor into this decision making process.
I had one at 34 in feb 09 think they rate from 1-5 mine was a 3 had brain surgery two days later (clipping) only problem now that I can't smell and have trouble organising things. So unless really heavy blead
By what measure is surgery for abdominal aortic aneurysm a safe procedure?
The mortality rate for surgically treated abdominal aortic aneurysm is about 5% and increases to 50% for aneurysms that rupture. Thoracic aneurysms also have a mortality rate of about 5%
What are some complications of cerebral aneurysms that leak?
Common complications of cerebral aneurysms that leak include hydrocephalus (the excessive accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid) and persistent spasms of blood vessels that adversely affect the maintenance of arterial blood pressure.
How are unruptured aneurysms treated by surgery?
Microcoil thrombosis or balloon embolization (the insertion via the arterial catheter of a balloon or other obstruction that blocks blood flow through the region of aneurysm) are alternatives to full surgical intervention.
Will a burst saccular aneurysm cause blindness?
Yes it certainly can it happened to a family member of mine
What was the cause of conway Twittys death?
The official cause was listed as "...an abdominal aortic aneurysm..."
Does Aneurysm repair reduce life expectancy?
No. unless you die on the table or don't get it repaired..... then yes.
What danger are you in just found a murmur and a anurism in the main aorta?
Depends on size, growth, localisation of the aneurysm and other factors as well. This is certainly a question you should directly ask the doctor who diagnosed the aneurysm.
What difference between aneurysm and cerebral vascular insufficiency?
An aneurysm is a localized dilation or bulging of a blood vessel, often occurring in the brain, which can lead to rupture and bleeding. In contrast, cerebral vascular insufficiency refers to inadequate blood flow to the brain, often due to narrowed or blocked arteries, which can result in symptoms like dizziness or transient ischemic attacks. While an aneurysm poses an immediate risk of hemorrhage, vascular insufficiency primarily affects blood supply and can lead to stroke over time. Both conditions are serious but differ in their underlying causes and immediate risks.
What is the pathophysiology of aneurysm?
base on my research the pathophysiology is aaneurysm disease,.,
What lifestyle factors increase your risk of aneurysm?
Cigarette smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and recreational drug use (for example, use of cocaine ) have been linked with an increased risk.
What is the difference between an aneurysm and a stroke?
An Aneurysm is a weakening in a vascular wall resulting in a blood-filled sac. The blood in this sac may clot, break free, and form an embolus that may lodge elsewhere, preventing necessary blood flow -- or it may not. Aneurysms can be treated surgically, if reached fast enough. A Stroke is the sudden death of brain or neural tissue, resulting from hypoxia, e.g. no oxygen because blood flow to the region has been stopped.
As more and more fat attaches to the aortic wall, the wall itself becomes abnormally weak and often results in an aneurysm or bulge.
